Exploring spiritual growth without the confines of traditional religion, Toni Packer offers a collection of talks, essays, interviews, and letters that delve into the nature of human attachments and suffering. Drawing from her background as a Zen teacher and student of Krishnamurti, she presents a unique perspective that encourages readers to seek compassion and understanding beyond established doctrines and ceremonies.
Exploring the complexities of life, the author emphasizes the importance of embracing raw and messy experiences as pathways to compassion. By encouraging readers to release their thoughts and dwell in "the stillness of not knowing," she invites reflection on the fundamental question of identity. The narrative highlights that true life, energy, and insight emerge from the processes of questioning, observing, and listening, fostering a deeper understanding of oneself and the world.
Toni Packer führt in ihrem Buch in die Kunst der meditativen Fragestellung ein, die unabhängig von Traditionen und Autoritäten ist. Sie lädt ein, Gewohnheiten vorurteilsfrei wahrzunehmen und im reinen Gewahrsein zu betrachten. Durch achtsames Erleben des Moments können wir unser wahres Sein entdecken und die Gegenwärtigkeit erfahren.
